Wayne Rostad - Highway Eleven lyrics

Just s countryside story full of sunshine and glory Won't you come for a visit take the old Wakefield Train Smile at a stranger go visit a Neighbor And love everybody 'cause they all love you Oh! It's not like it once was the big timber's all gone They're cutting up north now in Maniwaki The people live high by the streams and the rivers Praying to Jesus to help fill their needs(ref) There's just one train weekly with the freight for the township The city museum has a steamer trip too The ten fifty-seven is out of retirement Reliving the old days the way the old timers do (ref) Now old highway eleven is rough and uneven It whines through the valley that the river runs through The people live happy in their home built log shanties And wonder why city folks live like they do (ref)
